Winner of the 2007 Great North Run Moving Image Commission, Suky Best created a hand-drawn animated film showing runners' stark silhouettes with all background details removed.

Using a process called occlusion, figures are made visible only as they pass each other. With just this basic visual information, the viewer is able mentally to recreate the imagery by recognition, concentrating on the shapes, rhythms and pace of the figures.

This animation technique focuses on the singular effort of one person defined against others. About Running features a layered soundtrack based on interviews with runners from across the spectrum, from elite to fun-runners, professionals to first-timers.
